Hi, My sister living in Melbourne noticed this picture online and sent me the internet site as she thought I may be one of the kids in the picture, after seeing the picture I can confirm that I'm the blonde boy sitting on the far right, funny to see it after so many years as I remember many of the other faces in the picture. I'm now living in China teaching english to children the same age, I'm now 46 year old, I would have been 7 years old when the picture was taken.
